A group known as the Concerned
Citizens of Kano, CCK,has called on the
Federal Government to set up a panel of
inquiry into various occurrences
surrounding the death of immediate past Emir of Kano, Dr. Ado Bayero. The group also demanded for probe into
the violent protest that followed the
appointment of the successor to the
throne Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Chairman of the group, Alhaji Ibrahim
Umar in a statement in Abuja yesterday
said, “the Concerned Citizens of Kano in
its recent meeting has called on the
Federal Government to set up a panel
that would probe into the circumstances surrounding the death of the erstwhile
Emir of Kano, Alhaji Dr. Ado Bayero.” He also noted that the probe is informed
by the previous attack on the emir early
in January, 2013 where he was almost
killed ,adding that, “several incidences
had happened to put him off by some
unscrupulous elements to pave way for a new dynasty.” The group said Bayero’s 51 old reign
came to an end with controversies after
his death especially as it allegedly
gathered that the state government did
not use the successor list sent to him by
the Kano Emirate Council Kingmakers. “This was the entrant of the controversy
that trailed the appointment of the new
Emir which we know was not a name
among the ones sent to the state
Governor. Immediately the new Emir
was announced, a major protest and riots erupted in Kano City as people
condemned the way the appointment
came up,” the statement read in part. It therefore tasked the government on a
critical assessment of the situation
resulting to the Emir’s death and the
subsequent appointment as a step to
preserving the traditional dynasty of the
Emirate Council, and returning peace to the people.

Not again!

Waste of time and resources.

Some lousy hackers helped PDP wipe the memory of FG failures in Chibok and Kano from the registers of Nairaland - does it mean this hungry group did not get the memo that they want us to forget these failures?

Firefire: Waste of time and resources.

Exactly, and if i may ask who are the faces behind this so called 'concerned citizens of kano', and why do they they want to drag the fg into this matter. The last time i checked the job of performing autopsy tests if not aggregated to fg.

setting aside politics, the deaths of northern emirs within the space of a month is just too fishy. it really is worth having a checkup

It shouldn't even be a question. I had earlier requested for an inquiry.
